Investigation of the Interior of Colored Black Holes and the Extendability of Solutions of the Einstein-Yang/Mills Equations

We prove that any asymptotically flat solution to the spherically symmetric SU(2) Einstein-Yang/Mills equations is globally defined. This result applies in particular to the interior of colored black holes.Comment: Latex, 8 gif figure

Reissner-Nordstrom-like solutions of the SU(2) Einstein-Yang/Mills (EYM) equations

In this paper we study a new type of solution of the spherically symmetric, Einstein-Yang/Mills (EYM) equations with SU(2) gauge group. These solutions are well-behaved in the far-field, and have a Reissner-Nordstrom type essential singularity at the origin. These solutions display some novel features which are not present in particle-like, or black-hole solutions. Any spherically symmetric solution to the EYM equations, defined in the far-field, is either a particle-like solution, a black-hole solution, or one of these RNL solutions.Comment: 5 pages, latex, no figures, Submitted to Comm.

Hairy Black Holes, Horizon Mass and Solitons

Properties of the horizon mass of hairy black holes are discussed with emphasis on certain subtle and initially unexpected features. A key property suggests that hairy black holes may be regarded as `bound states' of ordinary black holes without hair and colored solitons. This model is then used to predict the qualitative behavior of the horizon properties of hairy black holes, to provide a physical `explanation' of their instability and to put qualitative constraints on the end point configurations that result from this instability. The available numerical calculations support these predictions. Furthermore, the physical arguments are robust and should be applicable also in more complicated situations where detailed numerical work is yet to be carried out.Comment: 25 pages, 5 (new) figures.

Cosmological Analogues of the Bartnik--McKinnon Solutions

We present a numerical classification of the spherically symmetric, static solutions to the Einstein--Yang--Mills equations with cosmological constant $\Lambda$. We find three qualitatively different classes of configurations, where the solutions in each class are characterized by the value of $\Lambda$ and the number of nodes, $n$, of the Yang--Mills amplitude. For sufficiently small, positive values of the cosmological constant, \Lambda < \Llow(n), the solutions generalize the Bartnik--McKinnon solitons, which are now surrounded by a cosmological horizon and approach the deSitter geometry in the asymptotic region. For a discrete set of values $\Lambda_{\rm reg}(n) > \Lambda_{\rm crit}(n)$, the solutions are topologically $3$--spheres, the ground state $(n=1)$ being the Einstein Universe. In the intermediate region, that is for \Llow(n) < \Lambda < \Lhig(n), there exists a discrete family of global solutions with horizon and ``finite size''.Comment: 16 pages, LaTeX, 9 Postscript figures, uses epsf.st

Global behavior of solutions to the static spherically symmetric EYM equations

The set of all possible spherically symmetric magnetic static Einstein-Yang-Mills field equations for an arbitrary compact semi-simple gauge group $G$ was classified in two previous papers. Local analytic solutions near the center and a black hole horizon as well as those that are analytic and bounded near infinity were shown to exist. Some globally bounded solutions are also known to exist because they can be obtained by embedding solutions for the $G=SU(2)$ case which is well understood. Here we derive some asymptotic properties of an arbitrary global solution, namely one that exists locally near a radial value $r_{0}$, has positive mass $m(r)$ at $r_{0}$ and develops no horizon for all $r>r_{0}$. The set of asymptotic values of the Yang-Mills potential (in a suitable well defined gauge) is shown to be finite in the so-called regular case, but may form a more complicated real variety for models obtained from irregular rotation group actions.Comment: 43 page

Multiply Warped Products with Non-Smooth Metrics

In this article we study manifolds with $C^{0}$-metrics and properties of Lorentzian multiply warped products. We represent the interior Schwarzschild space-time as a multiply warped product space-time with warping functions and we also investigate the curvature of a multiply warped product with $C^0$-warping functions. We given the {\it{Ricci curvature}} in terms of $f_1$, $f_2$ for the multiply warped products of the form $M=(0,\ 2m)\times_{f_1}R^1\times_{f_2} S^2$.Comment: LaTeX, 7 page

On all possible static spherically symmetric EYM solitons and black holes

We prove local existence and uniqueness of static spherically symmetric solutions of the Einstein-Yang-Mills equations for any action of the rotation group (or SU(2)) by automorphisms of a principal bundle over space-time whose structure group is a compact semisimple Lie group G. These actions are characterized by a vector in the Cartan subalgebra of g and are called regular if the vector lies in the interior of a Weyl chamber. In the irregular cases (the majority for larger gauge groups) the boundary value problem that results for possible asymptotically flat soliton or black hole solutions is more complicated than in the previously discussed regular cases. In particular, there is no longer a gauge choice possible in general so that the Yang-Mills potential can be given by just real-valued functions. We prove the local existence of regular solutions near the singularities of the system at the center, the black hole horizon, and at infinity, establish the parameters that characterize these local solutions, and discuss the set of possible actions and the numerical methods necessary to search for global solutions. That some special global solutions exist is easily derived from the fact that su(2) is a subalgebra of any compact semisimple Lie algebra. But the set of less trivial global solutions remains to be explored.Comment: 26 pages, 2 figures, LaTeX, misprints corrected, 1 reference adde
